Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine, which is fitted with the Jet System, meets all modern

requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent

consumption.

●

The special Handwash programme with their new

delicate wash system treats your delicate items with

extreme care.

●

The special Wool programme with its new delicate

wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●

The automatic cooling of the washing water from

95° to 60°C before draining will prevent old drain

pipes from being deformed.

●

The balance control device ensures the machine is

stable during the spin.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the

environment, we recommend that you follow these

hints:

●

Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the

hardness of your water supply, the amount of

laundry and the degree of soiling.

●

A programme without prewash is sufficient for

normally soiled laundry.

●

The machine works more economically if it is fully

loaded.

●

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited

soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be

washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.

In the interest

of the environment

●

Materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable.

●

Check with your local Council or Environmental

Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area

for re-cycling this appliance.

●

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly

distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the

wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something

Not Working".

13. How to open the door

during the cycle of a

programme

You can open the door, after having set the washing

machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions

exist:

• the washing machine is not in the heating phase

beyond 55°C;

• the level of the water is not high;

• the drum is not turning.

If these requirements are met, when you pause the

washing machine, the door locked light will go off and

the relevant message appears in the display: the door

can be opened.

Should it not be possible to open the door, the “Door

locked” message appears in the display, should it be

absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by

depressing the “On/Off” button.

After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of the

water in the washing machine!

When you close the door and press the “On/Off” button

again and then the Start/Pause button, the washing

machine will resume the programme from the point

where it had been interrupted.

14. End of programme

At the end of the programme, the washing machine

stops automatically, gives an audible signal (if option no

sound has not been selected), and displays the relevant

message.

If you have selected the or option, the

Start/Pause button light is off and the “Cycle ended/

Door locked” message appears in the display.

To drain or spin first :

• depress 3 times the “Cancel” button to cancel the just

performed programme and the corresponding light

goes off. The display will show the message «Select a

programme» ,

• select the “Drain” or “Spin” programmes.

• depress then the Start/Pause button.

Attention!

Always cancel the just performed programme.

If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the

machine on, the display will show the end of the

previous washing cycle and the messages “Cycle

ended” and “Door openable".

Release of the lock is also indicated by the extinction of

the door locked light and by the message “Door

openable" being displayed.

When the programme has been completed, an audible

signal is given.

The Start/Pause button light goes off.

Press the “On/Off” button to switch the machine off.

The relevant light will go out.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine.

Check whether the drum is completely empty, by

rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to

prevent any items of laundry from remaining

accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged

in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour

into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and

disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Washing Hints

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the

first few times you use the appliance.

The average weights of the most common items are

listed below as a guide:

1000g = 1 kg

Sheet 700-1000 g

Pillow case 100-200 g

Tablecloth 400-500 g

Serviette 50-100 g

Tea towel 70-120 g

Linen hand towel 100-150 g

Towelling hand towel 150-250 g

Towelling bath towel 700-1000 g

Bath robe 1000-1500 g

Man’s shirt 200-300 g

Apron 150-200 g

●

Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with

small ones.

●

Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,

colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

●

Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may

unravel.

●

Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects

which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws

etc) as these could damage the drain pump.

●

When washing curtains, remove the hooks.

●

Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

●

It is essential to wash new coloured items separately

when washing for the first time.

●

When washing fabrics requiring different wash

temperatures together, always select the lowest

temperature.

●

White items should not be washed with coloured

items.

●

Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)

should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

●

Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic

washing machines.

●

Use the correct quantities of detergent.

●

For wool, use gentle detergent only in small

quantities.

●

Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care

and kept out of reach of children.

●

Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are

difficult to remove and should be treated before

washing with specific products, which can be found

in most household shops. In some cases it may help

to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-

soak product or biological detergent.

●

Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable,

preshrunk” can be washed in the machine using the

wool programme; other types of wool should be

washed in HANDWASH programme.

●

If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin

only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left

in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not

contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a

rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to

ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

●

Once you have finished using the machine, you are

advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they

are also available in different forms. Whether you chose

a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is

your own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do

not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of

the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start

the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in

the dispenser drawer.

Alternatively the detergent is measured into the

specially designed dosing device* which should be

placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the

machine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also

known) are available in liquid or powder form, and

generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the

manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most

economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the

dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent

into the specially designed dosing device* which

should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back

of the machine drum.

* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,

please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed

before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also

reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing

easier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric

softener, for use in the washing

machine/washer dryer. The

liquid fabric softener should be

poured into the compartment

marked with the symbol .

Follow the manufacturer’s dosage

instructions and never exceed the

MAX level.

Bounce conditioning sheets for use

in a tumble dryer. We recommend

the conditioning sheets are pinned

(using a safety pin) to an article

of laundry and placed in the

tumble dryer.

Which detergent?....

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your

appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in

your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended

for use in automatic machines.

To maintain the appearance of your clothes and

household textiles and to make them last longer you

should use different types of detergent for different

washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product

range which is biological and

designed to provide excellent

cleaning and stain removal even

at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non

biological detergent, which does

not contain enzymes we

recommend Fairy. Fairy provides

good cleaning and stain removal.

COLOURS

For coloured items you should use a

detergent which is designed to clean

while maintaining the original colour.

Ariel Color does not contain bleach

and therefore helps to preserve

colours.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as

woollens, you should use a product

which is specially designed to care for

fine fabrics.

Dreft Automatic is suitable for

woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may

wish to use a product such as Ace

Gentle Bleach which is used in addition

to your chosen detergent. Ace is

suitable for all washable fabrics

including silks, woollens and colours.

Wash Care Symbols

Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The care labelling

code is in line with care labelling used in the rest of Europe. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct

programme on your washing machine.

Important Notes

For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for

dispensing detergents and liquid additives.

Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it

in gently. This is particularly important if you are using

fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the

machine prematurely.

When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,

place the detergent into the correct compartment in the

dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.

Chlorine bleach may be used

May be tumble dried
